Q2. Why
Do I need Tungsten Tipped Points?  |
| |
The
tungsten tip maintains an ideal seed bed, points that do
not have tungsten, or where the tungsten has fallen off,
often wear in a bullnosed fashion. Bullnosing results in
the glazing of the seed bed, which reduces the rate of
seed germination and root establishment.
|
| |
Q3.
Why Do Some Points Have Wings? |
| |
Some
points have wings in order to create extra soil tilth allowing
for better seed coverage.
|
| |
Q4.
I am getting too much Soil Movement. What can I do? |
| |
Going
to a narrower point will often solve the problem.
- In some cases slowing down planting speed is necessary. |
